The one-sided game in the Olympic Indoor Hall against the Nobodies from the West African island state was primarily under the sign of eagerly awaited debuts of Kaman. The center of the Los Angeles Clippers was only last week
established. Ten points and ten rebounds were at the end of his 20-minute first appearance in the statistics. "I was not quite there yet and had only me to another way of playing here, but basketball is basketball. In the quarter-finals it is very important, on-the-minute shape," said Kaman.
Although the Cape Verde as a benchmark not apply: Kaman is a great strengthening and justified the expense of the German Basketball Federation (DBB) and the Interior Ministry in recent months for his play. The 26-year-old was in the starting formation and convincing as a strong Rebounder with its enforcement capacity under the basket, but also with ideas and overview on the offensive.

Especially good harmonierte Kaman with his NBA colleagues Dirk Nowitzki of the Dallas Mavericks at the end with 16 points was the best pitcher. "He has played incredibly aggressive and good rebounds. It is good to have, clears up the rear. It was a good debut for him. He has added well. Sometimes he still has problems with the system, but I think against New Zealand will be even better, "Nowitzki said.
opposite the superstar of Dallas found the physical and playful basket unsuccessful hunters of the Cape Verde no. Consequently used DAR coach Bauermann the chance, his team under competitive conditions for the forthcoming heavier tasks against New Zealand and the quarter finals - presumably against Brazil - einzustimmen. In addition to Kaman and Nowitzki could especially the younger players to convince. Above all, the 22-year-old Philip Zwiener (eleven points) from the German champion Alba Berlin was able to convince.
